                        Thursday, April 6, 2006

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to honor the Martins 
Mill Lady Mustangs basketball team who recently won the Texas 
University Interscholastic League 1A Division State Championship. On 
Friday March 3, 2006 the Lady Mustangs competed at the University of 
Texas in Austin's Frank Erwin Center (UTAFEC) for the Girls Basketball 
State Championship.
  I would like to recognize teammates Cara Chaney, Courtney Gregory, 
Rebecca Hensley, Jordan Barncastle, Hayley Butler, Taylor Daniel, 
Brittney Perkins, Alexis Popelar, Ashley Tarrant, Jennifer Tindle, 
Christa Williams, Lynzi Williams, and Kim Wilson as well as team 
managers Carlee Alsobrook, Kati Clark, Joanna Daniel, Ashlee Milner, 
and Emily Williams.
  The outstanding team performance of the Martins Mill Lady Mustangs 
earned them the number one ranking in the state from start to finish 
this season. At the State Championship game in Austin the Lady Mustangs 
defeated Elkhart Slocum 61-30 to claim the Class 1-A Division 1 Title 
in front of a crowd of 3,500 people.
  Jordan Barncastle was named Most Valuable Player, and Offensive Most 
Valuable Player was awarded to Lynzi Williams and Christa Williams. 
Additionally, state team selections went to Taylor Daniels, Jennifer 
Tindle and Kim Wilson, and Ashley Tarrant. Cara Chaney, Brittney 
Perkins, and Hayley Butler also received honorable mention recognition. 
I would also like to honor Martins Mill Head Coach Doug Barncastle and 
Assistant Coach Don Tarrant, who were named Coaching Staff of the year.
  As the congressional representative of the families, coaches, and 
supporters of the Martins Mill Lady Mustangs, it is my pleasure to 
recognize their tremendous victory and outstanding season.
